Hello, I checked my /lib and /lib64 directories, and they both have a libc.so.6 file, but in fact, on both directories, this file is a link to the same file, libc-2.4.so. The x68_64 glibc is probably not installed, but I am not sure of that : I am new in the company, and the person before me has installed everything on the computer, and there is no SA, I am my own SA (small company... :-) ) That is why I am a bit lost in all that. About the x86_64 glibc, I have read that it is not without risks to modify it, and if I f modify it on my computer I will also have to modify it on the production server.
At the moment I just succeeded in installing DBI using a RPM : I had an old bad DBI rpm which was blocking the installation of the good RPM, I deleted it when found, then I installed the good one... and it works ! I know that this does not solve my compilation problem, but it allows me to carry on my work. Thanks a lot for your answers, I think I now know the source of the problem, which is half of the solution.
